Beating Wolf Run with BUG Control
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 24, 2011, 11:15 a.m. by JeffHoogland
So I've been playing a deck:bug-50 list for the past month now and it has been doing fairly well (lowest in the last 4 weeks is 3-1).
I keep taking losses to wolf run ramp lists. Any suggestions for side board (or maybe even main deck alterations) that can help in this matchup with BUG?

Upon searching Gatherer I've gotten Bramblecrush that's practical. Otherwise Spine of Ish Sah Lux Cannon Liquimetal Coating +Naturalize effects. Frost Titan can pin it down until the end of time. Ghost Quarter for a land, which may be tough though in tri-color. And the most over costed for what you want, Argentum Armor .

If the Ghost Quarter gives you mana troubles, try something like Evil Presence in your sideboard. It will help deal with the land. Acidic Slime too

I've had a great time with Acidic Slime against Wolf Run decks. I would say mainboard Ghost Quarter , but that's rough in a three-color deck. Bramblecrush is a useful sideboard card too, I've found. Works nicely against many other decks as well.

Bramblecrush basically removes everything that blue and black cannot touch. It kills all non-creatures, so not only does it deal with wolf run and other lands, but it also hits planeswalkers which is another thing that those colors can have a hard time dealing with.

Well it looks like Bramblecrush may be the way to go haha

Karn and Beast Within are the only two methods between those colors that I can come up with to deal with Kessig off the top of my head.
